I'm just a very enthusiastic enthusiast (bikes and the other stuff mentioned above.....). But I do pack a mac for special occasions... and, rarely, a flask! MICK..
How dare you. Its next on my shopping list when I've recovered from sending the SF away to the tweaking shop. What's an R1? Had an X1 when I was 16. Is an R1 the cooking version?
An R1 (well a 10 year old one) is what Ducati copied when they designed the 1198 - surely you know this?
General biking anorak here. I ride ~16k miles a year, have 2 bikes, tour, trackday, commute, I'm an IAM Observer (soon to be a National one), read 4 bike internet forums every day, read 3 bike mags every month and generally evangelise biking whenever I spot an interested person.
The 1198 doesnt look anything like a 10yr old R1. It looks like an update to the 916 shape. Albeit not a great one. I own one and admit the styling is neutral.
Ive a white one. It was cheap and brand new. Cheapskates cant be choosers. Besides I have the faster version of the 916. The red one.
Yep, same as my X1. I had a top box on mine so it was better. I used to ride it to my YTS job. Neither idea caught on as I recall..
I know you have seen them before but I was under the impression that they were Ducati's but I think I now have 2 R1's. Good grief! Me on the wrong forum, sorry chaps, tally ho!
The one at the back says Z1. That's a Kawasuki isn't it? Count the cylinders, if there's more than two you were done.
